Promises are the uniquely human way of ordering the future.

The presence of others who see what we see and hear what we hear assures us of the reality of the world and ourselves.

The end of rebellion is liberation, while the end of revolution is the foundation of freedom.

It is obvious: if you do not accept something that assumes the form of ‘destiny,’ you not only change its ‘natural laws’ but also the laws of the enemy playing the role of fate.

if we do not know our own history, we are doomed to live it as though it were our private fate.
